Hi, for a while now, stmsboot drops the error message below, but after reboot, it works fine. The message is actually caused by /lib/mpxio/stmsboot_util -D mpt_sas -N, which spits out '|iport' instead of 'iport', letting the search in /dev/dsk/* for it fail. The consequence is that former automatic discovery for vhci-capable disks fails and you have to revert to the failover list in /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf again. stmsboot_util is a compiled executable. # stmsboot -e -D mpt_sas WARNING: This operation will require a reboot. Do you want to continue ? [y/n] (default: y) y egrep: RE error in |iport: invalid regular expression <=========== ... -- Dr.Udo Grabowski Inst.of Meteorology & Climate Research IMK-ASF-SAT https://www.imk-asf.kit.edu/english/sat.php KIT - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology https://www.kit.edu Postfach 3640,76021 Karlsruhe,Germany T:(+49)721 608-26026 F:-926026
